    Not a bad idea here, but I still think the 2027 season is kaput, so I am barely interested right now. There's plenty of time, and there will be plenty of players looking for jobs after the agreement, especially among these middling guys. In addition, many teams will begin to revamp their rosters to position themselves with the new CBA and its requirements. To my mind, nothing should happen until the CBA is set. I don't think MLB should even allow any FA signings or extensions until the new agreement is in place. Before anyone howls about collusion, I simply can't see how a league in this untenable position is further exacerbating things. Why muddy the proverbial water even more? Even now, these ridiculous owners and their parrot GMs can't get out of their own way. Everyone knows a cap/floor will require an unwinding after grandfathering. So, why add to the already convoluted system? The answer is that this fence-sitting is exactly the problem with MLB, and now it is truly at a red line.

    I think the Marlins are well positioned for the outcomes/requirements of the new CBA, whenever that occurs. There will never be any mandatory minimum payroll ("floor") without the concomitant funding mechanism(s). The idea that the Marlins and other low-revenue teams will be required to spend money otherwise will never occur. The entire mechanism is broken now because teams simply do not have the revenue. Owners cannot and will not be required to fund teams without "outside" revenue.

    I don't have any ill will toward ex-Marlins, of course, but never cared much once a player is on another team. It's interesting to me that many fans do care, even follow such players. Other than simple curiosity, it's not something I understand.

    The Manager and Coaches are usually incremental factors. I just don't ascribe much difference to these positions. Yes, some players are positively impacted. Some.
  17. THOMAS JOSEPH
    That's true.

    With so much on the table this off-season, we are truly at a crossroads for teams like the Marlins. The argument that the Rays or Guardians reaching the WS changed anything is absurd. The MLBPA will harp on it, but long-term and league-deep sustainability won't change without a completely updated ecosystem. Of course, we are pulling for the Rays, but no one cares who lost the WS or won a lot of regular season games. Entertaining, but not fulfilling. So, a big CBA makeover, and the Marlins change half the roster.

    Thank you for the comprehensive look. Most certainly, one of the top reasons to subscribe to FOF are these reports that both augment and challenge the big pipeline rankings.

    I like Bendix and the overall strategy he has that is tailored to the Marlins specific circumstances. The MLB ecosystem will presumably change, so we will see how Bendix adapts. More resources should be exponentially better for the team. All that said, other than a live question format, Bendix's press conferences might be more easily consumed in a bullet point press release.

    Thanks for another season of comprehensive coverage.
  31. THOMAS JOSEPH
    I'm not watching the playoff no interest. Certainly, though, any team but the Dodgers would be welcome for the good of the sport. Perhaps this is the year the Rays get off the shneid.
  32. THOMAS JOSEPH
    Why expect any strategic moves until the CBA sets a framework for such planning? I figure there will be no season anyway. No hurry.
  33. THOMAS JOSEPH
    He's a solid contributor in key situations. Versatile. Inexpensive. Perfect Marlins player. Enjoy watching him perform.
